The Nashville Predators defeated the first-place Boston Bruins on Tuesday, one day after the school shooting that took the lives of six people, including three children.
"Quite frankly there are really no words that you can say after what went on yesterday in Nashville," McDonagh said.
"Just a tragedy for those families and everybody affected. You don’t really realize it until you have kids of your own and the perspective. It hits you," he said. Predators players take off their helmets for a moment of silence, in honor of the Nashville school shooting victims. Predators head coach John Hynes spoke with the team about putting forth a good effort for all those impacted. "It’s something we talked with our guys about, that we’re on a platform here as professional athletes and coaches," he said."The city of Nashville means a lot to these people. We wanted to put an effort for the first responders, for the people that were involved in the incident – the families, the school. We’re just really proud of the guys.
